rpm allows to use a script to automatically add requires, but it looks
like it's not possible to automatically add Requires(pre/preun) with a
script.

So we can use find-requires script to automatically add a require on
rpm-helper for package containing systemd units. But in that case the
package will be installed almost everywhere (I think everybody has at
least one package containing systemd units installed) so it's more
simple to add the require on rpm or rpm-mageia-setup.

Or is there a lot of people uninstalling rpm-helper to save space while
they are not installing/updating packages ?
